Good honest work. Thanks for sharing that suggestion. With lower level items I sometimes wish more people would put stuff up on the AH. It benefits you and the buyer.
Amusingly enough, I’ve been making runs through Wailing Caverns of late with some of my 60s. I’m a role-player at heart. I’d prefer a cool new non-combat pet over an artifact weapon. I’d even take a turtle mount over one. *smiles* And I also like to dress up my characters. I hate how so many high level characters look like clones of each other. So I’m perfectly happy to devote bank space to fun outfits to wear when in town, practicing my weapon skills or farming lower level profession supplies. And there are several bits of unusual looking armor that drop in Wailing Caverns.
I was rather surprised with how many greens have been dropping. I used to do some instance farming over a year ago and as best I remember not even half this many greens dropped. After a couple of runs I’ll be out of bag space and I have 16 slot bags.
I like selling low level gear in the AH. I never added up the money. That wasn’t the point. I’ve started characters on other servers and I’ve been very frustrated at the lack of low level items. And often the few that were listed were far too expensive for a low level character to buy. So I always sell mine cheap.
I just use the suggested bid price as a guide. If it says 1 silver I’ll price the buyout at 3 silver. If it suggests 7 silver I’ll price the buyout at 10 silver. The most I mark up low level items is an additional 5 silver. I figure this way everyone is a winner. I get a few coins, which weren’t my goal in the first place, new players get a chance to buy affordable gear, those playing the AH can buy it and try to resell it if they choose to and enchanters can buy it to level up low level enchanting. Every once in a while I’ll get a piece or two back, but most of it sell very quickly.
I’ll have to get a post ready for next week with screen shots of my characters and the items they are wearing. I think you’ll find it most amusing. Just don’t tell my characters I’m going to post photos. I’m certain I’ve completely embarrassed them as it is.
